What Is Pelvic Health Phys­i­cal Therapy?

Pelvic health phys­i­cal ther­a­py focus­es on the mus­cles, joints, and con­nec­tive tis­sues that sup­port the blad­der, bow­el, and repro­duc­tive organs. These mus­cles play an impor­tant role in con­ti­nence, core strength, pos­ture, and sex­u­al function.

Our pelvic health phys­i­cal ther­a­pists are spe­cial­ly trained to eval­u­ate and treat pelvic floor dys­func­tion in both men and women using evi­dence-based, non-sur­gi­cal approaches.
